WERK JINGLES

I wish kids today could grow up with the kind of radio I had as a kid.  

As David Letterman has often said, "It all stated with a little 250 watt station in Muncie Indiana.

Let's go back to February 14, 1965.

A little low powered AM radio station signs on the air in Muncie Indiana.

It was only allowed to be on the air during the daylight hours from a massive six tower array just south of Muncie on Hi Way Three.

I could go on on on about the talent that came through those doors. Many young DJ's starting out began their careers  at WERK.


For years they captivated the audience in Muncie with their fast paced Top 40 sound. Despite the low power and operating hours, they sounded just like the big stations in Chicago.

But as FM came along, and the AM Audience dwindled, so did AM 990.

But when they signed on, they had a great JINGLE package patterned after CKLW in Windsor/Detroit


C K L W ALL HEART JINGLES



I think the jingles fit better for the W E R K  call letters and the 990 Frequency

So for us Radio Geeks, old D.J.'s and the folks in my home town. Lets take a listen.......and remember those great days


WE'RE IN LOVE....THE STATION THAT'S ALL HEART

WAKE UP AND LIVE....YOU'RE IN THE HEARTLINE GENERATION

IT'S W E R K ....RADIO 99

VIVA LA MUSIC RADIO 99 THE STATION THAT'S ALL HEART

NO WORK, ALL PLAY THIS IS RADIO 99 W E R K

DRIVE CAREFULLY, CAUSE WE LOVE YOU

HEY LOOK HERE YOU HAPPY HEARTS...THIS IS WHERE YOUR WEEKEND STARTS
